Hello,

Finally built a new rig, and wanted to ditch Windows.

Got KDE neon up and running, booted into it, got my browser mostly back to how I like it, ran an update for my video card. I didn’t notice the screen blackout and come back like it normally would for a video update, but I don’t think that has anything to do with my current issue. I tried to restart to make sure it was running, and the update part of discover showed up and said I had a couple hundred updates to get, no big surprise there, since it is a fresh install.

Then it hung on fetching updates, and while I could browse my list of programs, I couldn’t do anything else. So I did a hard shut down and powered back up.

It sticks on some kennel warnings and won’t go any further.

Obviously I can’t really do anything from there that I know of.

I also can’t even get it to boot with the install media. That just sticks on a black screen. I can tell the monitor is actually showing black, as it doesn’t give the “NO SIGNAL” warning. I have no idea what to do from here since I can’t get it to react to anything, much less know how to fix anything if I could get in.

As for what the warnings say, there are 6 or so lines saying the same thing: problem blacklisting hash (-13), and one more that says nvme2: failed to set APST feature (2)

I haven’t put anything on nvme2 yet, I haven’t even formatted it yet, just the primary drive (nvme0). So I’m not sure what could possibly be wrong with it yet.

    That makes more sense in how I looked at it in the first place. I prefer a more stable one, so it makes sense that I saw it because of being based on an LTS. I didn’t realize the KDE part was updated more often. That’s not terrible.

    Unfortunately I think I’m gonna have to get a new board anyway, so it’s gonna be moot for a while. One channel of RAM seems to be borked. There is a tiny amount of hair in one door and I don’t think that’s causing it, but I’m gonna go out next time I get a chance to get a can of compressed air, since mine was apparently gone.

    But it’s more likely a bent pin or bad board at this point. Very frustrating.

      For the nvidia card it may be terrible. I have one it would always black screen after every update.KDE is pretty much halted for now since they are getting ready for plasma 6. There are not much resources for KDE neon compared to other main ones.
